The protagonist, Frederic Moreau, and his beloved, Mme Arnoux, are based on Flaubert's youthful infatuation with an older
married woman. Frederic's puppy love for Mme Arnoux is at first steadfast and idealistic, and she remains faithful to her
rather frivolous husband. Frederic's love ends in disillusionment, as do the subsequent passions of his life. His youthful
ambitions lead to failure and boredom, and his idealistic views of social progress are disappointed by reality

"A book that deeply influenced young Freud and was the inspiration for many artists, The Temptation of Saint Anthony was Flaubert's
lifelong work, thirty years in the making. Based on the story of the third-century saint who lived on an isolated mountaintop
in the Egyptian desert, it is a fantastical rendering of one night during which Anthony was besieged by carnal temptations
and philosophical doubt." "This Modern Library Paperback Classic reproduces the distinguished Lafcadio Hearn translation,
which translator Richard Sieburth calls "a splendid period piece from one of America's premier translators of nineteenth-century
French prose. In Lafcadio Hearn's Latinate rendering, Flaubert's experimental drama of the modern consciusness reads as weirdly
as its oneiric original.""--Jacket

"Considered Gustave Flaubert's masterpiece, Bouvard and Pecuchet opens with two middle-aged copy-clerks who become fast friends
after meeting on a city bench and discovering their shared habit of writing their names in their hats: "I should say so! Someone
could walk off with mine at the office!" When a small inheritance allows Bouvard and Pecuchet to retire early and move to
the country, they use their newfound leisure time to satisfy their curiosity about all the things they'd been too busy to
study in the city. Flaubert shows his unlikely protagonists diving disastrously into everything from farming and politics
to literature and love, and coming up empty-handed each time - until, finally, their obsessive pursuit of knowledge becomes
an end in itself." Bouvard and Pecuchet unravels the novel's realist tradition, and sets the stage for the modernist innovations
of Kafka, Joyce, and Beckett. Although Flaubert died before completing it, this new translation contains the fullest and most
accurate version of the text, as well as his "Dictionary of Accepted Ideas" and the previously untranslated "Catalogue of
Fashionable Ideas."--Publisher

"In A Simple Heart, the poignant story that inspired Julian Barnes' Flaubert's Parrot, Felicite, a French housemaid, approaches
a lifetime of servitude with human-scaled but angelic aplomb. No other author has imparted so much beauty and integrity to
so modest an existence. Flaubert's "great saint" endures loss after loss by embracing the rich, true rhythms of life: the
comfort of domesticity, the solace of the Church, and the depth of memory. This novella showcases Flaubert's perfectly honed
realism: a delicate counterpoint of daily events with their psychological repercussions. "Flaubert is diagnosis," Ezra Pound
wrote, "the whole of Flaubert, the whole fight for the novel as 'histoire morale contemporaine' was a fight against maxims,
against abstractions, a fight back toward a human and/or total conception."--BOOK JACKET

The Temptation of Saint Anthony (French La Tentation de Saint Antoine) is a book which the French author Gustave Flaubert

Gustave Flaubert (12 December 1821? 8 May 1880) was an influential French writer widely considered one of the greatest novelists
in Western literature. He is known especially for his first published novel, Madame Bovary (1857), for his Correspondence,
and for his scrupulous devotion to his style and aesthetics. He was a tireless worker and often complained in his letters
to friends about the strenuous nature of his work. He was close to his niece, Caroline Commanville, and had a close friendship
and correspondence with George Sand. He occasionally visited Parisian acquaintances, including?mile Zola, Alphonse Daudet,
Ivan Turgenev, and Edmond and Jules de Goncourt. The 1870s were a difficult time for him. Prussian soldiers occupied his house
during the War of 1870, and his mother died in 1872. After her death, he fell into financial difficulty due to business failures
on the part of his niece's husband. He suffered from venereal diseases most of his life. His health declined and he died at
Croisset of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1880 at the age of 58. He was buried in the family vault in the cemetery of Rouen. A
monument to him by Henri Chapu was unveiled at the museum of Rouen.--Amazon
